Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Heath Hayes who conducted the legals two years ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Virgin Money. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative conveyancer?

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Heath Hayes. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £225. Soon after, the lawyer called me to say that they were not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Clydesdale panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Principality are being difficult. The Heath Hayes solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I suspect that he will just be need to supply copies of his marriage certificates to the conveyancer but he is anxious it could delay the conveyancing. Should he appoint a solicitor to update the Land Registry documents for the property?

Any purchaser’s conveyancing practitioner should check the title details and request evidence to prove the change of name for instance marriage documentation.
